AS before stated, tho new pottery is to
be the model one OF the country. It will
be specially constructed for the pottery
business, and all the lateet improvements
and appliances put in, under the e1 peri
enced eye and direction Of Manager Pear

knowledge Of the business is Q; a most
valuable and practical nature. The nov
establishment will be su.e to become one
OF the beat known concerna OF the kind in
the country.
The 1STELLIGEScER has often referred
to the prosperity enjoyed by the Wheel.
ing Company, and called attention to the
fact that there Was room here for another
like establishment. This fact was fully
appreciated by those in that company,
and they were the first to move in the
matter. Once they had started, they loat
no time in completing Gil tho details. 1t
now remains for Council and others in
authority to Geo to it that a liberal policy
is pursued in considering any question
that may arise in connection with the
new concern.
